The other day, I found myself shopping with my sister. As we perused the racks upon racks of the latest fall fashions, I couldn't help but notice a pattern. Well, less of a pattern and more of a single color; guacamole. A mix between a bright green and an olive color, this vibrant hue caught my eye. In fact, I felt as if every store we walked in had at least two or three items in the color, practically begging to be bought and worn.

As I returned home later that day, I just couldn't get the shade off my mind. I decided to check out Pantone for some inspiration and to see if I could find the color. For those of you who don’t know, Pantone is a company dedicated to color. They created the Pantone Color Matching System to standardize color reproduction in a variety of industries, and regularly put out predictions for upcoming color trends. I find myself heading over to the site constantly, hoping for a sneak peek at the season’s latest trends.

Pantone Classic Colors for Fall 2019

Sure enough, with one quick scroll on the site I found the exact color I had seen in so many storefronts. An added bonus? They had a whole swatch of colors that paired well with the green shade! Suddenly, I began brainstorming what gems would pair well with the color, and how I could use my jewelry to make falls newest color really pop.

Nephrite Jade

This gem closely resembles the guacamole color. That bright gleaming green is just about enough to stop traffic. It would pair well with some of the neutral colors Pantone suggests, like cream, navy or gray.

Burmese Jade

This gem closely resembles the nephrite jade, but it’s a bit lighter. Like the nephrite, you can definitely match this stone with a ton of neutrals, or wear the guacamole color for an extra ounce of excitement.

This luscious gem would be perfect with a darker green. I especially love the brown and terracotta veins in this stone, it brings out the amazing color of the stone and its sure to bring it out in your clothes too!
